The buzz: The legendary Senegalese singer's first Toronto appearance in six years, and only Canadian stop on a tour that takes him to the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

The standout: The pure joy on Mansour Seck's face after singing with his lifelong friend, Baaba Maal.

The flop: The dude jumping on stage to plaster a $20 bill on Maal's forehead during the Mansour Seck duet.

In short: Although recent Maal fans (converted by the sensual voice of Brazilian Girl Sabina Sciubba on Maal's latest release) would have found much to disappoint, long-time Maal-ites mostly had cause to celebrate.
